Life Is Beautiful 2018: A DOPE Weekend in Las Vegas

This year’s Life Is Beautiful Music and Art Festival in Las Vegas was undoubtedly one of the most spectacular in the festival’s six year history. Eager fans and festival junkies showed up for three days of spectacular entertainment, elaborate artworks and some incredibly talented musicians. Las Vegas based DOPE writer and photographer, Derek Gumin, covered all three days of the festival’s lineups-even scoring a couple artist interviews with Elderbrook and Chad Hugo of N.E.R.D. Other artists captured in this photo gallery include Arcade Fire, Travis Scott, Foster The People, Tyler the Creator and many more amazing acts.

Hopping back and forth from stage to stage and trekking over twelve miles over the course of the weekend, here’s the magic that was captured at 2018’s Life Is Beautiful Festival.
